Grog was a sailsors' drink. In the Royal Navy, each soldier had a daily ration of Rum, and in order to prevent scurvy, each sailor was given limes (hence the Yanks calling the Brits "Limeys").
Grog was a mixture of Rum, Lime juice, water and sugar.
It ought to be dark Navy rum, and it ought to be dark brown unrefined sugar.

And deep beneath the rolling waves,
In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
And everthing is Green and Submarine
